Type of food Air humidity adjustment Storage time
Blackberries, currants
“humid”
up to 8 days
Figs (fresh)
“humid”
up to 7 days
Blueberries, raspberries
“humid”

Cakes containing cream and
other kinds of pastry
products can be stored in the
NaturaFresh compartment for
2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the
NaturaFresh compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have to be
stored at cellar or room temperature
like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit,
melons, mango, papaya, oranges,
lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above
should be stored in the refrigerator
compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese,
cold cuts, etc.)
The level of air humidity in the
drawers depends on the
content of humidity in the
stored food, vegetable and
fruit and on the frequency of
door opening
The NaturaFresh compartment is also
suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in the
NaturaFresh compartment for up to two
days.
• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date.
Quality and freshness influence the
storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will
depend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always
be packed or wrapped up before
storage.
• Animal food always store packed and
dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad
quicker. This means seafood will spoil
before fish which in turn will spoil
before meat. While storing food in a
NaturaFresh compartment storage
time for that kind of food can be
increased by up to three times as well
without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a NaturaFresh
compartment should be taken out of
the drawers roughly 15-30 min before
consumption, particularly fruit and
vegetables to be consumed without
any additional cooking process.
Allowing fruit and vegetables to return
to room temperature will improve the
texture and flavour.
5.6 FreeStore
The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a device that allows for rapid cooling
of foods and more uniform temperature in
the compartment.
This device activates by itself when
needed, for example for a quick
temperature recovering after door opening
or when the ambient temperature is high.
The FreeStore device stops
when the door is open and
restarts immediately after the
door closing.
